Permaculture Design Principles What are they?

Do I have to join a club? Is it a type of yoghurt? Should I start wearing sandals?

The answer to those questions are No, No and only if you want to!

Like many people the first time I ever heard the words "Permaculture Design" I didn't have a clue what it meant. I was already into solar panels, saving energy, growing organically, recycling and decided that's what permaculture was. That is a bit like throwing 2 wheels, some nuts and bolts, a frame and an engine into a large box, giving it a shake and calling the result a motorbike. Most of the parts may be there but it's how you put them together and use them that will make it work.

To get you started we have created a few pages offering a grounding on permaculture design basics, a sample of techniques and a overview of our 90 hour Permaculture Design Course (PDC). We hope you enjoy and welcome any feedback you may wish to share.
